Plastic coin bag

Abstract

Side slot or top opening plastic coin transport bag includes a primary handle at the bag top and an optional bag bottom auxiliary handle enabling two hand or two person lifting and transport. Reinforcing patch panel and heat seals surrounding the opening strengthens the handles. Closure member closes and seals a slot opening or includes a flap top opening closure. Tear-off receipts locate at the bag top, bottom, and/or flap edge. Transverse heat seals between handles and chamber also strengthen the bag. Primary handle patch panel can extend below the front panel slot opening to adhere to closure adhesive if the slot improperly spreads open during closing. Indicia indicates upward orientation of the bag.
